| LAT335 Roman Literature: Lucan's Civil War |
| Violent, controversial and unlike any other Latin epic, Lucan's poem offers the perspective of a 20-something friend and rival of Nero on one of the most traumatic events in Roman history, the civil war between Caesar and Pompey. The author's training in stoic philosophy and rhetoric combine with the anxious historical perspective of the time to create a work that challenges and rivals the Aeneid as a vision of Rome's destiny. We will read approximately 3 books of the poem in Latin, and the complete work in English. |
